Hi Gary!
The last time I did this I got slammed by the public..but here goes!!!
If you re read your post you will find words like "winning days",
"streak", and "cannot win". OK that's
fine.. but it IS GAMBLING terminology. If not consciously then
certainly it's coming up from your sub-conscious. Fine again... Mainly
because equity and commodity trading is a ZERO sum game. If you are
willing to put up 5 or 10 thousand dollars in the hope of "winning" X
dollars per week, month or whatever, just understand the money you are
"winning" is coming out of the pocket of someone (a friend, we are
friends aren't we??)so..... Here's the part I get slammed for!!
PERSONALITY ATTRIBUTES: If you are walking down the street and someone
drops a wallet...
a) you take the $$ and put the wallet in a mailbox.
You have the "It's mine now and I can use it" "It was meant to be"
Fine... You are mentally willing to accept something spontaneously for
nothing.
b) you tap the person on the shoulder and give them the wallet back.
you wouldn't think of keeping "something that isn't yours"....
Hmmmmmm... am I pinching any nerves???
c) You are at the race track and someone drops a ticket
when they leave the teller.
You could have the ticket cancelled and get the money
(it is a bearer instrument and belongs to the holder).
You could assume the bettor knows his stuff and keep the ticket to see
if it's payday!!
You could give the ticket back.
Why give it back? They are gambling too and know they may lose...
It's yours now. Right? How do you answer?
Do some soul searching.. This dialog may seem silly or pointless but
there is much to it.
BTW: When you are "paper trading" how do you know the
broker(s) aren't going down?
A trade is a trade. Confidence is irrelevant. Don't take more than a
point or two loss and keep a trailing
stop to maximize profits. If you obsess about profit/loss don't take
'em to bed with you (daytrade only).
Best wishes...

get my confidence back, then when I go to place the first trade,
following my rules, I get a loser. No big deal, confidence is still
up so I wait for the next setup, take the trade, and of a course a
loser so I dont take the next trade which is the winner. The next one
I take is another loser. Or just when I get into a trade, my ISP goes
down or my computer locks up. This never happens when I papertrade!
Or today, I decided i would trade the mini SPOO to get my confidence
back and PMBe is having problems so I missed 3 trades and had a winner
turn into a loser! I have tried 4 different brokerage firms and
obviously that is not the problem. I have been doing this full time
for seven months and am negative big time!

the Holy Grail. I know its not there but I have this glimmer of hope
that it is. My system now is very simple and relies on "reading" 2
minute candlesticks and looking for reversal patterns and support and
resistance points. I use Stochastics as a basis to assess divergence.
Pretty simple stuff yet I cannot win.
